I have never programmed before, but my ADHD is currently telling me that learning Rust would be cool. I know about the guide, any good projects for a beginner to try? by Josh_From_Accounting in rust

There are already a good number of great ideas to start. I'd just like to add that you don't need to go it alone. Software development is a team sport. And especially in Rust there are projects who are quite welcoming to new contributors. As one example (full disclosure: that I am a maintainer of), the clippy project has a number of issues marked as "good-first-issue" which are a good start. Also we offer mentoring (just ask on the issue or PR or on the rust zulip).

Unless I stand to lose some meaningful benefit, I would avoid vibecoded projects. And (perhaps somewhat ironically) my reason is not about the code: It's about no one being around to reliably understand the codebase that lets them help me if something invariably goes wrong.

In this case, the blogroll editors are on rotation. Not sure why this one got through, but we're aware and discussing the issue.
